Another fantastic show hosted by Burlington! 🌟 Their shows are always so well run, and even their recreational shows provide such a welcoming and professional experience for riders and horses alike.

A huge congratulations to Annette and TI Salvador, who produced a beautiful first round before stepping up to tackle their very first 90cm class. What a fantastic achievement and a milestone to be proud of. Well done, team! 👏🐴

It was also wonderful to see Nicci and HHCU Lloyds Legacy back in the show ring for the first time this year. After an on-and-off season, it was great to have them back in action. And it was very clear that "Nero", Lloyds Legacy's nickname, was more than ready to be back doing what he loves! We can't wait to watch this partnership continue to grow throughout the season. 💙🧡

Well done to both combinations—we're incredibly proud of you all!

🏆 Wonderful Show Results – Catching Up! 🧡🐴

We've fallen a little behind on sharing some of our recent results, and what a way to start!

Our Orange Duo, Lauren and Rivervales Bacardi, were on top form once again, taking the win in their Handy Hunter class before going on to be crowned the 2026 SASA Gauteng Working Riding Champions! 🥇🏆 What an incredible achievement for this talented partnership—we couldn't be prouder.

At the Mid-Year Graded Show held at Kyalami Equestrian Park, Annette, Giuliana and Rebecca represented Rivonia Riding Club with confidence and determination. Graded shows can be nerve-racking, but all three riders rode beautifully, gained valuable experience, and finished the day with big smiles.

A special mention goes to Giuliana and her young Thoroughbred, Tybalt, who produced a fantastic performance to finish 5th and 7th in their classes. Considering these classes combine both junior and adult riders, this is an outstanding result and a great indication of what the future holds for this exciting partnership.

Well done to all our riders—we're incredibly proud of your hard work, sportsmanship and dedication. Here's to many more successful shows! 🧡🐎👏

🏆 Burlington Graded Show – 23 & 24 May 2026 🏆

A fantastic weekend was had at the Burlington Graded Show, with our riders and horses continuing to build valuable experience and confidence in the competition arena.

✨ Gu and Tybalt had an outstanding show, securing a 1st place and a 5th place in the Adult Junior classes. This partnership continues to go from strength to strength, and they are looking more than ready to step up to their next height soon. Well done on a superb performance!

✨ Annette and Salvador produced four lovely rounds over the two days of competition. This partnership is steadily gaining confidence and experience with every outing, and it is wonderful to see their progress. We look forward to watching them continue their journey and seeing them at their next graded show.
